For the Love of Toronto: Talking About Our City

Spend the evening in the heart of the city as we explore what it means to fall in, or out, of love with Toronto.

Are we as disconnected from each other as people think we are?

Back by popular demand, For the Love of Toronto invites you to explore what it means to love this ever changing world class city. This series of speakers will have honest conversations about how we’re drifting apart as a city, and explore unexpected ways that we may be more connected than you think.

Hosted by CBC Radio’s Elamin Abdelmahmoud (CBC’s Commotion), this event will feature a powerful lineup of voices who are shaping the cultural landscape of our city. Through personal stories, bold ideas, and moments of reflection, these speakers will share their unique perspectives on everything from the arts to nature, from food to design.
